RISK OF INJURY DUE TO MOVING PARTS
The wire feeders contain moving parts that may catch hand, hair, clothes or tools which can lead to
injuries! Take extra care.
• Do not lay a hand to swivel or moving components or parts to the drive!
• Ensure that the housing covers or protective covers remain closed during operation!
ADVICE & THERMAL PROTECTION
This device is equipped with a ventilator regulated by the inside temperature. When the machine's thermal pro-
tection is activated, it will not deliver any current. Orange light (Fig-V-2 / p.77) will turn on until the temperature
of the machine has returned to normal.
• Do not block/cover the ventillation holes, ensure free flow of air.
• Whilst in thermal protection mode leave the machine plugged into the mains after welding to allow it to cool.
General observations :
• Always respect the basic rules of welding.
• Always work in an adequately ventillated area.
• Do not work on a damp surface.
